I am a professional Web Designer & Developer. I work with HTML, XHTML and CSS every day, and would be glad to help with your problems, and answer your questions.

Experience in the area


Experience in the area I have been a web designer/developer since 1997. I started developing websites with HTML 3.2 and using tables for layout. In 2006 I received my degree in Computational Media, and now work fill time as a Webmaster and Interactive Media Author, as well as teaching continuing education courses on HTML, CSS and ActionScripting at my local college. Currently I design with XHTML and CSS - no tables and much cleaner and more accessible code and allows the designer more freedom and flexibility than tables.

What do you like about this subject?

The web has always fascinated me. Websites are so dynamic, and no two are alike. Every site has a unique user base and a unique purpose. Developing websites is a rewarding challenge.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

The wonderful thing about the web is there is always new technology, and always something new to learn to stay ahead of the curve. I am currently interested in XML and mobile technology.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

The oldest HTML document on the World Wide Web today is from November 15, 1990.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Many experts agree that tables and frames are NOT the proper way to layout a page. CSS and XHTML should be used. Tables are meant for tabular data only.
